Cup with a cap provided with a grip

ABSTRACT

A cup with a cap provided with a grip includes a cup body, a cap threadably engaged and closed on the cup body, a grip formed on an upper surface of the cap, and a flexible sucking tube inserted through a hole formed at one end of the grip and extends deep enough in the interior of the cup body for sucking the content filled therein. When a user wants to drink the content in the cup body, the person can suck through the mouth end of the sucking tube, and if the sucking tube is not to used, the mouth end is inserted in the insert hole of the grip to let the cup body with the cap and the sucking tube carried manually by holding the grip, keeping the cup body with cap and the sucking tube in a hygienic condition.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

This invention relates to a cup with a cap, particularly to one having acap provided with a grip, and a hole bored in the grip in one end for asucking tube to extend through and in the interior of the cup body andan insert hole in the other end for a mouth end of the sucking tube tobe bent and inserted therein. A user sucks the mouth end to drink thecontent in the interior of the cup body. When the sucking tube is notused, it can be bent along the grip with the mouth end of the suckingtube inserted in the insert hole to prevent the sucking tube and thecontent in the cup from polluted from exterior maters, and convenientfor manually carrying the cup with the cap and the sucking tube togetherin a hygienic condition.

2. Description of the Prior Art

Conventional cups shown in FIG. 1 generally have a cup body 1 and cap 10closed on the cup body 1, and a user takes the cap 10 off the cup body 1for directly drinking the content of the cup body 1, or using a straw todrink. But the straw cannot let the cap 10 closed completely on the cupbody 1, so dirty miscellaneous matters are apt to fly or float in thecup body 1, not hygienic. And the independent cap 10 and the cup body 10are not suitable for carrying out manually.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

This invention has been devised to offer a cup with a cap provided witha grip for conveniently carrying out manually.

The feature of the invention is a cap provided with a grip for manuallyholding to carry the cup body threadably combined with the cap, andmoreover, a flexible sucking tube with a mouth end can be insertedthrough a hole provided in one end of the grip for sucking the contentin the interior of the cup body, with an insert hole in the other end ofthe grip for the mouth end of the sucking tube to fit therein for hidingit for carrying manually the cup body with the cap and the sucking tubetogether.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT

A preferred embodiment of a cup with a cap provided with a grip in thepresent invention, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 4, includes a cup body 2, acap 3 and a flexible sucking tube 4 as main components combinedtogether.

The cup body 2 has a combining member 20 formed with male threads in anupper end.

The cap 3 is to close on and threadably combine with the cup body 2,having a nearly semicircular grip 30 diametrically formed on an uppersurface, a receiving elongate recess 31 formed on an upper surface ofthe grip 30, a hole 32 bored in one end of the recess 31 and an inserthole 33 bored in the other end of the recess 31, a combining member 34having female threads formed in an inner surface to engage with the malethreads of the combining member 20 of the cup body 2 so the cap 3 may bestably combined with the cup body 2.

The flexible sucking tube 4 is inserted through the hole 32 to extenddeep enough in the interior of the cup body 2 for a user to suck anddrink the content therein, having a mouth end 40 extending out of thecup body 2.

In using, as shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, a drink is filled in the interiorof the cup body 2, and the cap 3 with the grip 30 is threadably combinedwith the cup body 2 by engaging the combining member 30 with thecombining member 20 so the cap 3 is closed on the cup body 2. Then theflexile sucking tube 4 is inserted through the hole 32 of the grip 30deep enough in the interior of the cup body 2. Then a user can drink thecontent filled in the cup body 2 by sucking through the mouth end 40 ofthe sucking tube 4. In case the sucking tube 4 is not used, the upperportion with the mouth end 40 of the sucking tube 4 is bent in thereceiving recess 31 of the cap 3, with the mouth end 40 inserted in theinsert hole 33 of the grip 30 stably. Thus, the cup body 2 with the cap3 and with the sucking tube 4 together can be carried manually,preventing exterior matters or floating miscellaneous dirty matters fromfalling or flowing into the cup body 2, keeping the content therein frompolluted.

The invention has the following advantages as can bee seen from theforesaid description.

1. The flexible sucking tube 4 enables a user to drink easily thecontent of the cup body 2, and the grip 30 is conveniently used formanually carrying the cup body 2 together with both the cap 3 and thesucking tube 4.

2. In case of not using the sucking tube 4, its mouth end 40 is possibleto be kept inserted in the insert hole 33 of the grip 30, for directlyholding the grip 30 and carrying easily the cup body 2 with the cap 3and the sucking tube 4, with the content and the mouth end 40 also keptfrom polluted.

While the preferred embodiment has been described above, it will berecognized and understood that various modifications may be made thereinand the appended claims are intended to cover all such modificationsthat may fall within the spirit and scope of the invention.
